Need pics of aftermarket tachs

[5.0 from 95]

I am about to get a tach and want some ideas about mounting it. I think I want a big one with a shift light. Has to have a shift light. I am also running a MSD ignition so if something will work well with that, let me know.


Thanks,
Paul

I like the way that looks. Has anybody got any pics of one in the 94-95 cars?


Thanks,

i dont have a pic handy, but i mounted it wherew the clock pod was.....fabbed up a bracket to bolt it down....that way the holes will be covered by the clock if i remove the tach

That car needs some serious washing / leaf removal.

I dont like huge tachs...why not just use the stock tach with an aftermarket shift light?

whether or not you like tachs is pure opinion, however it is fact that most of our factory tachs are inaccurate. mine is about 175-200 rpm off. anyway, heres a pic of my set up

does one really need a huge tach just to know when to shift? a simple light works for me...and its alot more low key...oh well to each his own...don't let its size fool you, it has blinded many an unsuspecting fool who has wanted to drive my car..

Remember R/C car has never been to the track so why would he need a tach for a daily driver thats an auto.

and what it looks like at night:

Thats an Autometer Lunar 5" tach with a UPR Tach bracket. I love the position of it, right where you need it, and no holes in the dash. Heres the link for UPR, http://www.uprproducts.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=572. Paul knows the guy that came up with the idea originally, i think his are cheaper. He can get you the link.

NO...What I mean is

If you "know" how to drive a stick, why would you need a light to tell you when to shift??

I like the way that looks. Is that the whole kit or did you get a bracket and the light separate? And where did you get it?

Its an autometer "quicklite" and it comes with the light and bracket. also needed is the rpm activated module which turns the light on. if you like that you can also check out the raptor performance light which is similar
